COE96 Transparent Frit

Transparent glass frit is crushed fusible glass that keeps its see-through color after firing, letting light pass through the finished piece. This category carries COE96 transparent frit from Oceanside Glass and Tile, Wissmach, and Youghiogheny, all made for the COE96 fusing system.

What's in this category at AGS

You will find a wide range of transparent colors across the three brands: ambers and honey tones, aquas and sky blues, greens from lime to dark green, reds, purples, grays, and clear, plus specialty colors like Oceanside Aventurine Blue and Aventurine Green. Most colors are offered in powder, fine, medium, and coarse grain sizes, and Wissmach adds a larger mosaic grain. Jars come in multiple weights, so you can sample a color or stock up on a studio staple.

Choosing a grain size

• Powder for soft shading, sifted designs, and blended color fields.
• Fine for smooth, even coverage and controlled lines.
• Medium for visible texture and speckled effects.
• Coarse for bold chunks of color, pattern bars, and casting fills.

Usage notes

COE96 frit is made to work with sheet glass built for the same tested-compatible system, and matching COE alone does not guarantee compatibility across makers. Keep it separate from COE90 materials, since the two systems should never be mixed in one project. When color matching, test fire a small sample first, since the fired color of transparent frit varies with grain size and the glass beneath it.
